He has such great focus, to watch a man of his size climb a mountain and stay with the peloton is actually fucked.

Why does he look like he just got a catheter installed?
Also, Cav has raw talent and personality, this guy only has what you can buy.

>>985414
Yeah, and he was in the break this tour to work for De Gendt or Van Avarmaet. If I'm remembering correctly, he also was in a break at a spring classic (Tour of Flanders? It might have been Kittel) which is cool. Nice to see sprinters not just sprinting or slowly climbing

No one who NEEDS a bike needs an mtb.

I'm riding off road, hill territory mostly dirt paths, thanks for your biased opinion though

>>985369
why not a hybrid or cyclocross anon?

Because I find pedaling more fun and rewarding

I had one when i was 15 and it was great

>>984642
Can it go off-road?

Video made me laugh.

>Why do cagers love murdering people so much?

I know where you're coming from, i do. I deal with the same bullshit, it makes me mad too. Driving cars is such a widespread and ingrained thing though that hating 'cagers' just makes you a misanthrope. There are assholes period, it's not a vehicle specific thing. Plus we all make mistakes and act badly sometimes. Try not to be so angry and persecuted about it.

I push twin babies in a stroller around a major US city and cagers look directly at me coming across the pedestrian walkway... then gun it right in front of us. They simply cannot wait. They are too important

Did the cager just drive away leaving his copilot behind?

...that is the equivavelnt of wearing a club sponsored jersey you are not a part of

Oh boo hoo an overweight guy on a nice bike.

You're the world champion of being jelly so you could wear the jersey.

>Oh boo hoo an overweight guy on a nice bike.

nothing worng with being fat but rainbow+bianchi+what seems to be a too small frame is what makes it

They're buses that run on coal instead of gas and can't take a detour.

all the down-side of a bus and none of the upside of a streetcar.

just a way for gm and firestone to get everyone to transition to busses

tell me again how the streetcar conspiracy isnt real

Honestly I don't think asking about a kickstand is that big a deal. They're kinda nice if you do a lot of random stop and go for whatever reason.

>>974251
I've seen too many people destroy the paint and even dent or straight up crush their chainstays with them. Plus imo they only belong on something like cruisers or cheaper hybrids, and shouldn't be on anything nice.

I use a Cycliq Fly6, neat little camera integrated into a rear light.

Auto over-writes data so I never need to manually delete old videos. It also has an auto shut off function is the bike is put on it's side for more than 15 seconds(so the camera doesn't stay on indefinitely and eventually overwrite crash data if a cager murders you.)

Downsides... It's heavy as fuck, and only 6 hour battery life.

So pretty much the same thing except the Polaroid has a shitty mount

What is the advantage?

Not seeing it, DESU.

A possibility of placing a city rail (considering its parameters, it's more like tram) over the river what goes across the whole city instead of crowded streets. Of 13.3 kilometers, 10 is over the river - while the river is not suitable for water transport, it is kinda used as a transport corridor.

It doesn't really help maximize passenger capacity. You can have the same loading gauge with standard gauge tracks, without any speed restrictions because of it. Apparently standard gauge is like the widest gauge that makes sense and anything wider is just for shits and giggles since it doesn't really offer any benefit. Just an inheritance from times when all of this wasn't standardized yet.

I live in Spain where we have glorious broad gauge. I've always found it pretty badass how wide tracks are, you really notice the difference from standard gauge. Where I'm at in Catalonia there's always talk of re-gauging and whatnot, they say it's for better connection to France, but it's all bullshit, they're just butthurt because they hate anything that's somehow associated with Spain. The HSR network was already built to standard gauge and allows for through trains to France, although the one international line that we have which is a mixed freight/passengerHSR line cost gorillions to build and has been a complete and utter failure so far for lack of train traffic. Standard gauge makes sense for international freight trains, but there's so little rail freight in Spain that you don't need any more std gauge other than the main freight lines, such as along the mediterranean coast. Other than that, for suburban and regional trains there's literally no benefit in regauging.

In Barcelona we also have a broad gauge subway line. When it was built in the 1920's the idea was that it would allow mainline trains to run between different termini. This never happened, but we ended up with a broad-gauge subway that has a mainline-sized loading gauge. The cars are fuckhueg for a subway. Based af tbqhwy familia.

In the south of Spain, in Cádiz, they're putting the finishing touches on a new tram-train, the first of its kind in Spain since it will run on mainline tracks. This means that it also has iberian gauge. I guess that makes it the tram with the widest gauge anywhere in the world, right?

>check gauge compared to people

90s entry level- basically its a piece of crap- what did you pay?

Since 2008, REI has settled both in and out of court with an undisclosed number individuals who were riding Novara bikes that fell apart while they were in use, resulting in serious injuries. KOMO 4 News[5] has reported on these cases.

I like the Lamborghini yellow color

Can you even tell a good headset from a bad one performance wise? Aside from durability and longevity obviously

over-engineered

>>984057
I wondered the same for a long time now. I can't imagine that a Chris King would magically make your steering 'better' or whatever.
